5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, 26 Jun 2003
Brilliant characterisation, romance, adventure, magic, intrigue, politics and dragons - Melanie Rawn's heady mixture provides a textured and believable world, and a damn good read. There are no superheroes here, instead the characters are fallible, complex and completely human. This would be an excellent novel (and series) for those who have never sampled the Fantasy genre before. Read it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, romantic , interesting, and wonderful, 25 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I thought that this book was perfectly wonderful. Even if the words were a little hard to pronounce at times. I think that the part about the Sunrunners were very cool. Imagine if you could actually talk to people like that or put them to sleep like that. That would be awesome. You know, to have fire pop up on your command, or wind to blow on your insistence. That would be a dream come true. The plot just drags you into the story, and it makes you feel the characters pain and love. You feel as if you are side by side with all of the characters. Its humor is not so bad either. I really encourage you to read all of her books. Thank you for reading my comments about this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable and absorbing read, 28 April 2005
By A. K. Davis "akg" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rohan becomes prince of the desert earlier than expected when a dragon kills his father. No one is sure how he will do as he so different to his father, quiet and studious instead of loud and physical. The three yearly trading meet is approaching and Rohan knows the pressure is on him to select a bride there. His Aunt has selected one of her sunrunners (can communicate by weaving the light from the sun and moon) while the High Prince has many daughters he is offering.

This is a very enjoyable read and although it's not the best fantasy book I have read I finished the book in three days and I'm keen to read the rest of the series. The book appears to be in two parts; the first is about Rohan becoming prince and selecting a wife (more complex and political than it sounds) and then there is a gap of a few years and the story continues with the repercussions of Rohan choice. I would have been happier with the book if it had finished after the first part and the rest was in the next book in the series, I almost didn't go back for the second part, but obviously it didn't take me that long to get back into it.
